Product grants

CA$10,000–25,000
Investment + resources
For teams turning early feedback into their next milestone. Tell us what you’ve tested and where mentorship, go-to-market advice or an introduction could help.

Larger cheques
For pre-seed and early seed teams with evidence of demand and a clear use for the cheque. That could be people returning to use the product or a customer ready to pilot it.

We generally invest through a SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity). Your company needs to be incorporated and able to sign by the time the investment closes. We agree on terms together before anyone commits.

Your student role

Include the rate for a paid role, the host and beneficiary for volunteering, or the school program for a placement.

When can a student role be unpaid?

Students normally receive pay for work such as building your product or serving customers. A community activity, like volunteering with your team at a food bank, can qualify. We check the duties, who benefits and the rules where the work happens. A placement can also be unpaid when it meets the school’s requirements and the applicable rules allow it.
